Well the Chiefs yet again play just enough to win...why, why, why??? After the game went out and rode the Grasshopper for a couple hours last mow of the year always good to have it done. I have one more run with the leaf sweeper and done for another year...YEA!!
 
Now the mystery deepens. When I pulled the intercooler, found coolant in it… how the hell that happened is beyond me.

There’s no water jackets near the intake manifold side of the head. There’s literally no way for it to return even if there was.

Plumbing from turbo to cooler to intake horn, no coolant connections and it’s completely sealed and not part of the radiator.

Greg and Eddie were creative and talented. The racer was called Country Cadillac.

Hot engine pushing coolant after shutting off.
Stranger things happen, i found chunks of piston in an air cleaner once. Buddys truck got stolen and engine dismantled itself while being chased.

But how does that get into the intercooler? I’m just trying to wrap my mind around it
 
So after a few drinks during the Chiefs game today, I admitted to Cheryl I'd maybe overspent again this month on baseball cards. She smiled and reminded me that our PayPal was set up on her credit card and she was well aware of what I'd spent. She said I'd worked my *** off with a full-time job and National Guard for more than 30 years and didn't care what I spent. She said you bought two classic cars and almost bought a third and I didn't care, and I don't care what you spend on baseball cards. I just smiled and gave her a smooch. No, sorry she doesn't have a sister. Those here who have met her understand she's a good one. :thumbsup:

Antifreeze can appear in a Cummins engine's intercooler if there is a leak in the engine cooling system, specifically where the coolant lines run close to or connect with the intercooler, allowing coolant (which contains antifreeze) to mix with the compressed air flowing through the intercooler.

Me too. Wish she had a sister I mean
 
In many engine designs, the coolant lines run close to the intercooler, which can increase the risk of a leak causing coolant to enter the intercooler if a seal fails. Wear and tear on coolant hoses can lead to cracks, allowing coolant to leak into the intercooler area. Seals on coolant connections to the intercooler or nearby components can deteriorate, causing leaks.
 
What's happening? (rhetorical question) Went shopping with the wife. (Ughh) Been busy since with comments in sale threads. :mob: :mob: :lol:
